They're the timestamps of the beginning and end of the billing period (e.g. monthly, yearly)

Actually I thought the same

But I have an invoice which has the same date for both

This is the invoice id: in_1Lu94iC8JGuaUdU6t2fPy7mV

[fading raven]

That's because its the initial invoice on the subscription

[twilit willow]

Oh, that is weird

Do you know the reason behind why the first invoice have the same values?

[fading raven]

It's because our invoices are generated for the previous period. In the instance of an initial invoice, there is no previous period

[twilit willow]

Cool, so in this case I need to dig deep into the line items to find the correct period, right?

[fading raven]

Well the period dates differ. The dates on the line items will be for the period upcoming

[twilit willow]

So my intention is to find the period for which this invoice is charged for

In this case the period should be one billing cycle after the invoice period start date

[fading raven]

Sure, period hash on the line item(s) works then

[twilit willow]

Cool, thank you.

I have one question regarding the promocodes as well

I have a coupon that can be applied for multiple months

Let's say 4 months

I apply this coupon to a subscription at the beginning, and the subscription now is on the 4th month

When I retrieve the subscription at this time, I should get the discount as null, right?

I am guessing Stripe removes the attached discount at the beginning of the 4th month

[fading raven]

Do you have an example or is this hypothetical?

[twilit willow]

This is hypothetical. Because for a one time subscription, Stripe removes the discount from the subscription

Don't worry about this. I'll check this with test clock and see how it behaves. Looks like you have lot of traffic today

Thanks for the time. Have a nice day 🎉

thanks!
